Boundaries Broken

Aug. 1, 2003
The latest release of the Simatic PCS 7 Process Automation System eliminates the boundaries that traditionally exist between different software tools used to configure process automation systems.

Simatic PCS 7 Version 6 provides a common, single interface for configuration of human-machine interface (HMI), control, historian, batch and fieldbus aspects of a process control device. This approach boosts productivity, reduces training needs, improves change management and reduces configuration time. Among other enhancements, Simatic PCS 7 Version 6 also adds flexibility by allowing online system modifications for its I/O, controller, HMI, batch and historian components.
